Freshman Luke Johnson's college tennis career got off to a rough start.
When No. 1 Florida (15-2, 6-1 Southeastern Conference) hosts the 2013 NCAA Regionals on Saturday, history will be on its side.
Senior Lauren Embree has been vital to the Gators not only this season, but all four of her years on the team.
The pocket was breaking down, and Antonio Morrison saw EJ Manuel had nowhere to go.
Less than two innings into the Gators’ game against UCF on Tuesday, they already faced what coach Kevin O’Sullivan said was the most important point in the game.
As she has throughout the WNIT, Sydney Moss dominated for most of Wednesday night.
Florida ranked fourth nationally in rushing defense last season, surrendering only 94.5 yards per game on the ground. Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd was the driving force.
Florida’s game against Ole Miss on Saturday in Oxford, Miss., was moved due to rain. On Wednesday, the rain followed the Gators to Gainesville.
Sophomore Kytra Hunter, with her body balanced in preflight, stuck her vault routine to round out Florida’s rotation at the Southeastern Conference Championships on March 23.
ARLINGTON, Texas — When asked after Florida’s Elite Eight loss to Michigan on Sunday whether he would return to UF for his senior season or bolt to the NBA, center Patric Young was noncommittal.
The Gators have decided to ditch the traditional spring game in favor of what is essentially an open practice.
For half an inning, an errant throw appeared to have turned a game-saving play into a game-changing blunder.
Sydney Moss enjoys nothing more than ruining the day of opposing players and fans, something she has made a habit of doing during the Gators’ run to the Final Four of the WNIT.
Coach Tim Walton does not announce probable starting pitchers before each game. But if he did, Hannah Rogers’ name would appear more often than not.
After a month and a half of sub-par play, the Florida baseball team is coming off its best series of the season, taking two of three games from Ole Miss last weekend.
The Gators’ path to the Final Four of the WNIT has been a whirlwind — four games in four cities during a span of 10 days. And it has been equally unconventional.
For five games, Lauren Haeger was arguably the best softball player in the country.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Following the worst shooting performance of his career Sunday, Erik Murphy sat hunched over in his locker, staring at the ground and gripping his towel with both hands.
ARLINGTON, Texas — When the buzzer sounded Sunday, Florida walked off the floor as Michigan guard Trey Burke dashed to the edge of the court and held up four fingers. He then huddled with his teammates — each decked out in Final Four gear — and celebrated midcourt.
Florida’s pitching owned a Southeastern Conference opponent for the first time this season. Freshman left-hander Danny Young tossed 5.1 scoreless innings as Florida (13-16, 4-5 SEC) defeated No. 11 Ole Miss (23-6, 4-5 SEC) 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at McKethan Stadium to earn its first conference series win this season.
